HID bulb failure
Did a quick search, didn't find any results.
I purchased 6k headlight bulb replacements through one of the CL vendors (I am away from my receipt to verify which one). Everything has been great but currently I have one bulb that will
- intermittently flicker and go out
- not turn on when car is started
The way I can usually get it to come on is by turning the headlights off and then right back on. It doesn't always fix it for long and sometimes it doesn't make it come back on.
I had someone in the car service business tell me it may be a HID control unit but then when I took it to Lexus they told me it was likely the bulb.
Anyone have knowledge or history on this at all?

LOL!
After going back to my post I see now (in my own signature line!) that it is XenonDepot! I haven't been on CL in much too long so nothing like coming back with style! Haha!
Still interested if anyone has seen this issue...in the meantime I will be contacting XenonDepot.

Dont worry
Steve from xenondepot is a great guy and he will take care of you. I read that the wrong product went out to some people and you may be one of them. Send him a pm about your situation and he will get back to you soon.
